The scheme, including its delivery service, is aimed at elderly and disabled people who find it difficult to leave the house and do their shopping.

The shop’s owner Michael Ryan said he had the idea when he realised how chilly the weather had become and he started worrying about older people.

He said: “I thought how cold it was this morning and I had the idea to do home deliveries for people who couldn’t get out of the house.

“I spoke to a couple of elderly people where I live and they said it would benefit them. I also spoke to a few people in the shop and they said it would help them because they only leave the house to go to the doctor’s or the shop.”

The £1 range includes essentials like shampoo and other hair products.
